Oberalp Pass

Oberalp Pass is a mountain pass at 2,044 meters elevation, linking the canton of Uri (Andermatt) with Graubünden (Sedrun). The pass road is a popular route for scenic drives, with hairpin bends and sweeping views of the Alps. In summer, the pass is a hub for hikers, with trails leading to the Sources of the Rhine, Oberalpsee, and nearby peaks. The area is also a starting point for the famous Via Alpina trail.
